Embassy & Consulate Legalisation
An Embassy May Have Additional Requirements
DIRCO advises applicants to contact the foreign representative in South Africa to determine what documents and legalisation are required for a particular purpose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an apostille mean the embassy cannot ask for anything else?
No. The receiving authority can have additional requirements.
Who should I ask about the destination country's document list?
Contact the relevant embassy or consulate in South Africa.
Can VeriDoc decide what the embassy requires?
The final requirements come from the receiving authority; a service provider can help with processing but should not replace official guidance.
